I own an Ecomate, which was one of the first Import Trailers Modcon built, It has been a great unit cant really fault it. It survived the OTT to cape York no issues.

There are some more details in my "my camper" thread below..

Just keep in mind that these things are heavy and you need to make sure you have a full size 4x4 to tow it.  You will see in my thread I had measured a 220kg ball weight..

We are picking up our FF1 next tuesday. Can't wait!!
Will be interesting to see how much difference the extra weight compares to our soft floor.

Hi Chappo5,

I own Regional Campers in Albury/Wodonga. We are a Modcon dealer and also use an FF1 ourselves. If I can help in anyway please feel free to contact me directly.

Cheers
